Botany 500; that's what Don Adams wore in 'Get Smart'! The name always struck me as weird when I saw it in the credits as a kid. I see it's from the supplier, Botany Mills, but what's biology got to do with cloth?
Here's a list of TV shows from the 1960s where the male star wore Botany 500 suits:
Make Room for Daddy (Danny Thomas)
Bewitched (Dick Sargent)
Family Affair (Brian Keith)
The Dick Van Dyke Show (Dick Van Dyke)
Get Smart (Don Adams)
Mannix (Mike Connors)
The Joey Bishop Show (Joey Bishop)
Honey West (John Ericson)
Alcoa Presents: One Step Beyond (John Newland)
The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour (Glen Campbell)
It's worth noting that while Botany 500 was credited for providing wardrobes for these shows, in some cases, such as The Dick Van Dyke Show, the suits were actually custom-made by other tailors and Botany 500 only paid for the credit.
Best chapter yet, I like the dialogue and depth of characters.
Much appreciated!
